Don't think I'd heard of Ivory Joe Hunter, thanks!
Just looked him up: Rhythm and blues singer/songwriter (and, inevitably, pianist) ... lived 1914-1974 ... The Baron of Boogie ... wrote over 7,000 songs.
Maybe most memorable factoid: "Ivory Joe" was his real name; at birth, his parents said he "looked just like the baby on the outside of the Castoria Ivory bottle." (Apparently a children's laxative?)
A sad, sad goodbye...
Un triste, triste adiós...
